 Hey guys, Dan Giles here. Just got home from work. Got a little package here. See what we've got. This is a soap dispenser for a dishwasher. Kitchen aid dishwasher. The seals come off and makes it where the door doesn't want to latch. Ordered a new one, came in. So I'm going to show you how to install this soap dispenser on your dishwasher. Now ours is a kitchen aid. So it shouldn't be too hard to get in there and get this piece replaced. But first, priorities. Like I said, I just got home from work. So first things first. So like I said, my dishwasher has to have a new soap dispenser and this is what it looks like. You can see this little seal right here. It's giving way. Actually, it's done now. It's coming apart. Whatever that seal is, it came off and it was stopping this door from latching. So that's why I'm going to go ahead and replace it. Wasn't cheap, but if you want the soap to dispense like it's supposed to in the middle of the cycle or wherever it does it, you definitely want your soap dispenser to work. So I'll go through the steps of how I'm going to replace it and I'm going to bring you guys along with me. So the first thing I might have to do is take all these screws out. Oh, they got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten of them to get that panel loose. So I go through those steps. I'm going to take those screws out and that's a Torx head screw. Remember that 11 in one client tool I was telling you about? This is where it's going to come in handy because I actually have Torx bits in that set. So the trusty 11 in one with the Torx bit, it's going to be perfect for pulling these screws out. Don't try it with a Phillips head screwdriver. You'll booger up the inside of that screw, the head itself, and you'll never get it out. So if you're going to do this job, make sure you have the right tools. Client 11 in one. I'll put a link in the description below that way. If you don't have one and you want one, you'll have a source to get them. Go ahead and take out the 10 screws. That's around this door. So it's going to be a time-consuming little process of getting these screws out and probably putting them back in again. So I'll go ahead and get the rest of these screws out and I'll come back to you when I'm ready to take this door apart. All right, so I've got the door panel off and what I'm going to do is go ahead and remove this wire. Unplug it right here on the main circuit board, or this is the computer I'm guessing here. So we're going to unplug it right here, push that little retainer on the bottom, unplug it, and there you go guys. It comes right out. Now you can set this aside because the last thing you want to do is scratch up your door on your dishwasher. That would be bad. So there's our old dispenser right there. So I went ahead and pulled this wire off of this little retainer clip that it went under, and I'm going to unplug. However it comes out, harness that feeds into our dispenser. Somewhere in the cycle, it tells this dispenser to release. It opens the door and lets the soap drop out. Well, if your door doesn't close then you can't get the soap to drop out. You got to replace the dispenser. That's where we are. So I'm going to leave these wires connected to this because this metal plate up here, although it's got a retainer on it, and it's got one right here too that holds this. You just get a screwdriver. For this, it's three little tabs up there on the top. So what I'm going to have to do is get a putty knife and go under these three and hold them there, then get a screwdriver to pull these back just a little bit enough to let it release past these little plastic clips right there. And the same on the other side. And there's nothing on the bottom. That's really all I got to do is just raise these metal pieces up just enough for this dispenser to slide forward and pull out. Let me get that going right now. All right, got my trusty putty knife. Got a regular screwdriver. And what I'm going to do is lift up on these three little metal tabs. And as I do, I'm going to slide my putty knife under it so that I can hold that in place. I'll do the same with the second one. And as I'm doing this, and it's not going to be a fun little project. It's going to bite you a little bit. And be very careful not to bend your door. If this is your inner door, you don't want to bend that. So take your time with it if you have to. I'm just going to lift this thing out. Don't let it slide back in place. And there you go. All right, so we got that out. I'm going to open the door up here so you can see what's. There's a big gaping hole in our dishwasher door. That's not going to be good. But we'll fix that. Do a little bit of cleanup around the edges because that's where your seal is going to go. On the new dispenser, just like the old one, there's a rubber seal all the way around it. So, now all this one does is just kind of snap into place. It just snaps into place. These little retainer clips here on the side. There's three of them on the top. One on this side. And that's what's going to hold this in by these metal clips that you see here. Now, be careful on these because they are quite sharp. You don't want to cut yourself on that. Putting these in is going to be a little bit of a challenge, but, you know, when you're taking the old one out, take your time with it. Don't go bending up all your metal plates and the pieces that keep that in place. That's going to be a lot nicer. It actually sticks in place when you close it. And the seal's actually in place, too. So that'll be cool. Alright, so the install on this is just as... is actually a little bit easier than the demolition part of it. So, go ahead and open up the door. This piece should just snap right into place. Then the hardest part's going to be putting all those screws back in place. So make sure you get this lined up like it's supposed to. Just like so. So close down. So this piece is just going to... you'll set it in the hole. You'll hear all those retainers clip it in place. You come back in here. Make sure that you're secure underneath all of these. This one needs to be pushed in a little bit right here. Alright, so we'll go ahead and plug our wire back up. Just like so. Go ahead and put this back underneath that retainer. Keeps that wire nice and snug. We kept everything in place up here. So now we're good to go. Now when you put this door back together, this little plastic piece up here on the top, that makes it come loose on you. You want to make sure that you get that back down in place so that you're getting a good seal across that door when you put your outer panel back on. So now all that's left is going ahead and button this thing up. And as you can see, I got a little load of dishes that need to be washed. We'll load up a soap dispenser. Put it on a wash. Come back later after it's been doing its cycle and make sure that our soap dispensed like it should. Alright, I got all the screws back in the door. Everything looks good on the dispenser. She's seated in really good, so... I'm going to put a soap pod in here. Yeah, that's nice that it closes like that every time. I'm going to go ahead and hit a light wash. And to start, let her do her job. But there you go, guys. Changing out that dispenser on your dishwasher. It's a little bit of a challenge, but you know what? You can do it. I'm going to give you a tip right now. Be very patient. Don't try to rush through it. Take your time with it. And above all, watch those metal pieces around that dispenser because they are sharp and they will cut you. And the last thing you want to do is bleed all over one of your appliances.
